In publisher, the end result looks different from the design

I just started using publisher for the first time, therefore a novice. I used
'easy web site builder' wizard to create a new web page and added 2 more
pages (still using the wizard). However, when I click on the web page
preview, the end result looks very different to the design. Some of text
boxes or frames are not where they are supposed to be, or overlapped with
other information or even too much space where there should be none! They
seem to be displaced erratically. Any idea as to what is I should do to have
the end result match my design?

Your input is greatly appreciated.

That's not unusual, there are a number of things that you can do in the
layout that aren't supported in a web page and/or Publisher webs, or are
rendered poorly. And it is common to need to "tweak" object sizing and/or
placement. A couple common mistakes that come to mind - 1) text wrapped
around images is not supported, 2) do not apply any paragraph formatting.

Thank you. I'll "tweak" as necessary.
